A Valuable Container
Indonesian basketware is a part of the Indonesian handicraft industry that has been well known throughout the world for its creativity in
design and unique materials used. The combination of tradition, craftsmanship and wide variety of locally available raw materials combine
to make Indonesian basketry one of the most unique and creative one
can find in the world. Basketwares are found in virtually all parts of the
country, and many places in Sumatra, Kalimantan (Borneo) and Sulawesi (Celebes) islands.
Indonesia produces a wide variety of basketware which have also
been widely exported. Indonesian basketware has been one of the primary handicraft export products sought after by foreign buyers. This
book attempts to showcase and explore the Indonesian basketry world
in a concise, yet informative and attractive manner. In this book one
will find descriptions of Indonesian basketry, especially those made of
natural fibers as these are the most-used materials of Indonesian basketware.
It is hoped that this book will attract its readers to find out more
about the unique and varied world of Indonesian basketware, and to
eventually find something to like and love about them. Furthermore,
this book attempts to provide as much information as possible to interested and would-be buyers, such as where to find the items and list of
valuable contacts.

The Origins of Basketware
The making and usage of basket containers go back thousands of years to the time
of Ancient Egypt. Archaeologists have unearthed the oldest known evidence of basketmaking in Faiyum, Upper Egypt that dates back to 10,000 to 12,000 BC. It is speculated
that basket-making is older than pottery-making. Baskets are simpler and easier to
make, even without the use of any special tools. Unearthed archaeological evidences
for basket-making to-date are also older than any known artifacts of pottery-making.
Basket-making is found in all cultures in all parts of the world. It is safe to say that
basket-making predates and is a precursor to pottery making.
Baskets were used as the earliest form of carrying vessel. Ancient uses of baskets include carrying food, harvested products, stone and building materials, caught hunting
preys (such as fishermen’s baskets), and other articles except water. Baskets are usually not used for carrying water for the obvious
reason that baskets are typically made from
woven materials and are porous, and thus are
unsuitable for carrying liquid. Some cultures,
such as the Anasazi of the Arizona desert

cultures however, do make water carrying baskets. The Native American tribes that lived in
also older than any known artifacts of potterymaking.
the arid desert regions of America and India
for example, had water baskets to carry water
during long journeys. These water baskets are
made from the weaving of natural materials so tightly as to make them into watertight
vessels. The materials used to make these watertight vessels are bamboo. Baskets were
probably replaced or supplemented later by clay articles as pottery-making technology became known.
Baskets are traditionally made by the weaving of natural materials, usually in the
form of plant fibers. Plant-fiber materials traditionally used to make baskets are ash
3
woodsplint, oak woodsplint, willow, bamboo, hickory bark splint, birch bark, rattan,
reed, cattail, cedar, devils claw, gourd, horsehair, palm, pine needle, porcupine quill,
rivercane and veneer cut to name some. In addition, there are also baskets made out of
animal muscle or shed horn fibers. These include fibers from deer, moose, caribou, elk
antler shed fibers. These animals shed their horns
(antlers) regularly to make way for growing new,
larger antlers. The shed antlers are then taken and
splint into fibers, which can then be woven into
baskets. Other materials for basket making also include baleen, which is the fibrous straining plates
of a whale.
Erdly, a researcher in the topic of basketmaking from the University of Michigan, United
States, classifies basketware art into five types,
categorized by their production technique. Most
baskets are made by the weaving of its materials
in a number of ways to create a container. Coiled
type of basketry uses grasses and rushes in a
combined in a coiled pattern. Plaiting technique
uses materials that are wide and ribbon-like, such as palms or yucca. Twining baskets
use materials from roots and tree bark. Wicker and Splint baskets use reed, cane, willow, oak and ash.
Despite numerous technological advances, basket making survives into the modern world relatively unchanged from its prehistoric past. Baskets today are still mostly
hand-made crafts. No one has ever invented basket-making or basket-material twining machines. This is probably due to the fact that basket-making as we know it is
a highly complex and detailed craft. No machine can match the attention to detail
and complexity required in producing the twining, coiling and other methods of traditional basket making. As Erdly mentions, even with the aid of molds, electric saws and
sanders, and a multitude of “assembly line” processes, traditional basket-making is still
a highly labor-intensive endeavor.

Basketware Today
Baskets today are utilized in a variety of uses. Today’s baskets are used for their attractive artistic value and natural looks. They are chosen more out of an interior design
and artistic values rather than out of necessity (there are many articles that are stronger and more durable). Some of the uses of baskets today are as storage containers, for
example laundry baskets, shoe baskets, umbrella/walking stick baskets, egg baskets,
firewood log baskets and baskets for other storage uses.
In Indonesia, baskets are also often used as containers for holiday gifts (the Indonesians call them “parsel”). These “parsel” may contain articles of food, dinner sets and
other gifts arranged attractively. They are typically sent to the desired recipient just
before the holidays as a sign of respect and appreciation. There are also wine/drink carrier baskets (some even include wine baskets with its internal layered by special material that keeps the wine/drink container bottle cool). Baskets can also be made and designed into handbag baskets, harvest baskets and even shopping baskets. Basket cribs
for pets are also available. Basket making, or rather basket material weaving, also extends into non-storage uses. Examples of these include gardenware made out of baskets or basket materials. Gardenware baskets include pot holders, flower/garden produce carrying baskets (called
trugs) and plant cones.
As mentioned, despite the technological advances of the last
thousands of years, baskets survive to the modern day in many forms.
The amount of creativity
and ingenuity applied keeps
basket making an interesting
art form. Today, there are even
enthusiasts, hobbyists and collectors of basketware. Baskets
are used more for their decorative
values rather than their utilities.

Fibers of Nature
Basketware has been known for ages in Indonesia. Indonesian baskets are typically made of materials that are readily available locally. These are natural fibrous plants, such as

ering the materials used in
Indonesian basketware is unique in a way considering
the materials used in its construction. Consider the water
its construction. Indonesian baskets are typically
hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) for example. This plant (called
made of materials that are
Eceng Gondok in Indonesian) was introduced to Indonesian
readily available locally
soil in 1894 by the Dutch to adorn the botanical garden in
Bogor. However, in its development, it has become undesired
plant in many Indonesian waterways, lakes and marshes. Despite of this, Indonesian ingenuity has turned this invasive plant to beautiful, durable
basketware and other handicraft articles.
Water Hyacinth Basketware
Raw Material
Water hyacinth is a plant originated from South America. If left unchecked, water
hyacinth that has been introduced to any body of water such as lakes and ponds will
cover them entirely; this dramatically impacts water flow, blocks sunlight from reaching native aquatic plants, and starves the water of oxygen, often leading to fish kills (or
turtles). Water hyacinth plants investation also create a prime habitat for mosquitos,
the classic vectors of disease, and a species of snail known to host a parasitic flat-

worm which causes schistosomiasis (snail fever). Directly blamed for starving subsistence farmers in Papua New Guinea, water hyacinth remains a major problem where
effective control programs are not in place. However, Indonesians can turn these “bad”
plants into attractive, durable and good-selling handicraft articles. Weaving of water
hyacinth can be turned into all kinds of articles.
Base material used for weaving basketware from water hyacinth plant is the stem
of the water hyacinth plant that has been dried. Typical water hyacinth has a stem of
45 – 50 cm long, however some are as long as 50 – 60 cm. There are also some supporting materials, such as clean water, coloring agent, preservative agent and whitening
agent.
Processing
The water hyacinth is of course first lifted from the water where it has been growing. Then clean water is used to wash away all the dirt and filth since water hyacinth
typically grows best in filthy waters. It is suggested to use cleaning agent such as soap
or detergent and protective clothing (such as gloves) to protect the person cleaning
the plant. After cleaning, the plant can then undergo a drying process.
Drying process for the water hyacinth plant typically takes about 6 days depending
on the thickness of the stems and, of course, the weather. The drying process is best
done by leaving the water hyacinth stems on a flat surface or on sand to ensure even
overall drying. The drying process can be hastened by squeezing the stems with a
pressing machine in order to squeeze out the water inside them. The dried stems can
then be separated for weaving purposes. They can be separated by length, so as to
make it easier to choose the most suitable stem during the actual weaving.
The best color for water hyacinth stem for weaving is white as this is the most flexible color. However, dried water hyacinth that are brownish in color can be cleaned
into white by using a whitening agent. Whitening agents that can be used include
caporite, H2O2, and natrium metabisulfide.
After the whitening step, preservatives agent can then be applied to the stems.
This is to prevent the stems from decaying after being made into woven articles, which
will severely damage the finished product’s quality. Preservative agent used is typically
sulphur mixed with water in the ratio of 1 ounce of sulphur for every liter of water. The
water-sulphur mix can then be sprayed over the dried stems. After applying preservative agent, the stems can then be woven into basketry or other articles of handicraft.
8
There are a number of weaving patterns that are typically be used for the water
hyacinth stems. These are single pattern, double pair, triple pair, kepang, cloverleaf,
ombak banyu (water wave), pihuntuan tangkup and wajik (trapezium). The single pattern is the simplest weaving pattern that is done by alternating every strand of the
water hyacinth. The double and triple pair patterns alternate every two and three pairs
respectively.
9
Baskets and bags can also be made by
using a frame or mold that the stems are
woven over. The use of frame enables the
basket weaver to weave articles according
to their desired size and shape. For the purpose of making basketware, water hyacinth
may be combined with other materials, for
example bamboo, for the handle of the
basket for example, to form a more varied
piece.
Production Centers
Water hyacinth basketware is produced
in Indonesia in many places, especially
those with easy access to the raw materials. In Indonesia it can be found in virtually
any of the major islands. However, most
water hyacinth basketware production
centers are located in West and Central
Java. Notable production centers include
Yogyakarta, Pekalongan, Klaten and Surabaya in East Java Province. These areas
typically thrive due to their proximity to a
ready supply from water hyacinth-invested
bodies of water. For example, Yogyakarta
is close to Rawa Pening marshland, which
is a marshland covered almost entirely by
water hyacinth. Klaten is close to the Rawa
Jombor marshland. Surabaya has a number
of streams and rivers nearby that are filled
with water hyacinth which routinely causes
flooding problems.

Pandan Basketware
Raw Material
Pandanus (pandan) is a genus of monocots with about 600 known species. Plants
vary in size from small shrubs less than 1 m tall, up to medium-sized trees 20 m tall,
typically with a broad canopy and moderate growth rate. The trunk is stout, widebranching, and ringed with many leaf scars. They commonly have many thick prop
roots near the base, which provide support as the tree grows top-heavy with leaves,
fruit, and branches. The leaves are strap-shaped, varying between species from 30 cm
up to 2 m or more long, and from 1.5 cm up to 10 cm broad.
Pandan is said to be a restorative, deodorant, indolent and phylactic, promoting a
feeling of wellbeing and acting as a counter to tropical lassitude. It may be chewed as
a breath sweetener or used as a preservative on foods. It is also said to have flavonoids
which are believed to have a variety of healthful properties, including antiviral, antiallergen, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Pandan is also used for many purposes in
Indonesia. The first and most
common

use is in cooking. Pandan leaves in Southeast Asian and Indonesian cooking (often
called screwpine leaf in English speaking countries) are used to add aroma to rice and
curry and also to make cake (green pandan cake).
Processing
The part of the pandan plant that is most suitable for weaving basket articles is
the pandan leaf. The long and green pandan leaves can be processed through simple
traditional methods to be ready for basket weaving. There are a number of pandan
types in existence in Indonesia: the pandan wangi (fragrance pandan) and pandan
duri (thorned pandan). The pandan wangi is typically used for cooking and the pandan
duri is the type of pandan that is suitable for making basketware and other woven
handicraft articles.
For the purpose of making pandan basketware, pandan leaves that are old
enough are chosen and are cut at the base of the plant, taking only the long green
leaves. Seven or eight young leaves are typically left to prevent from killing the pandan plant and enable the pandan plant to continue growing and thus possibly provide for future harvesting. The cutting is typically done carefully since the pandan
duri is surrounded by sharp thorns and the ground around the plant is also typically
wet and slippery. The cut leaves can then be stripped of uneven and unwanted parts.
Typically the sharp and thin edges will be stripped off leaving fairly smooth and
uniform length pandan leaves. The leaves are then withered by laying them on top
of a small bonfire.
Another method to dry and wither the pandan leaves is by
drying them up in open air. After the leaves are weathered
the thorns of the back spine of the leaves are then stripped
away with a fiber held between the thumb and the index finger. The stripping of the back thorns will usually immediately
split the leaves from the spine. The split leaves can then split
again if so desired. The next process concerns softening the
pandan leaves to enable easy weaving. The softening process is
done by first striking the leaves that have been cut with hammer
and repeatedly “massaging” the pandan leaves from end to end.
After this process is done, the leaves are then soaked in water for
two to three days. The water used for soaking the pandan leaves
are replaced two or three times during this time to prevent foul
odor from accumulating in the leaves.

Creativity
On the third or fourth day, the leaves are taken out of the water, washed clean
and then dried in open air. The dried leaves will turn white. The dried leaves may be
colored if so desired. The coloring process is usually done by boiling the dried leaves
with coloring agent. Traditional methods employ natural ingredients as coloring
agents and therefore are limited in the choice of color available. Traditional natural
coloring agents come from various leaves and trees and typically only provide the
color red, green and yellow. Today, however, one can easily find coloring agents of almost the entire color spectrum. After the coloring process, the leaves are then dried
again, and as a final step, “massaged” again to ensure softness and ease of weaving.
Production Centers
One of the centers of pandan basketware handicraft production is located in the
Indonesian Regency of Tasikmalaya. Handicraft production is spread in 11 villages of
this Regency. The Regency of about 1,600,000 inhabitants lies approximately 380 km
to the southeast of Jakarta and 106 km to the East of the West Java Province’s capital
of Bandung. The basketware and other handicraft industry in this Regency
have grown into a formidable collection of home-made handicraft article
makers, and many have found markets overseas.

Mendong Basketware
Raw Material
Mendong is a type of vegetation that thrives in marshlands and swamps in tropical
and subtropical climates. Mendong is commonly found in Java. Mendong has been
made into baskets and woven into mats since ancient Javanese times. The mendong
plant grows in muddy grounds with sufficient water content. The physical and agricultural properties of Mendong are similar to that of the rice paddy. Mendong is a type of
weed and typically grows to height of more or less 100 cm. It is typically available for
harvest once every 100 days and thus can be harvested three to four times a year.
Mendong plants used in basketware making usually do not come from natural
growth. The plants used are typically purposely planted and then harvested. Mendong
is planted in the similar fashion as one would plant a rice paddy. In fact sometimes during difficult times, such as when the price of rice drops, or when the planting season is
unexpectedly dry, ruining rice paddy crops, Indonesian farmers in some areas switch
to planting mendong instead.
Processing
The mendong plant is planted on flooded fields as mendong is a type of aquatic plant. Flooding provides water essential to the growth of the crop. After 3.5 to 4 months, the
mendong plant will have grown large enough to be harvested
and used as raw material for basket weaving. The mendong
plant is harvested by cutting the mendong brush, typically
with a sickle or sickle-like cutting tool, at approximately 3
cm from its base. This will ensure that the mendong plant
will grow again after harvesting. Since mendong is a plant
that grows out of its roots, it will continue growing so long as
it is not uprooted. By simple maintenance such as weeding
and some fertilizer, the mendong plant will resume its brush
growth. However, the growth of the mendong plant is affected after each harvest. The length and width of the mendong
leaves shrinks after each harvest. Newer growths are smaller
and shorter. In addition, its roots become larger due to the
growth of the entire plant and hence space betweens mendong plants will become tighter, which eventually tightens

competition for nutrients among the plants. Typically after two or three harvests, a
mendong plant no longer provides practical raw material for basketware weaving and
needs to be replanted.
After harvesting, the entire brush can then be taken for cutting and stripping. The
mendong leaves are selected for their length and width and then they are dried out
in the sun. After the drying process, the mendong leaves are flattened. This is usually
done by basketware crafters by beating the wrinkled leafs with a wooden stick. Prior
to weaving the mendong leafs into the desired basketware article, first they need to
be cooked and later colored if needed. The cooking of mendong leafs is performed
16
in order remove dirt and other chemical properties of the mendong plant that might
interfere during the next steps. Cooking is usually done by mixing chlorine to boiling
water that cooks the mendong leafs.
The next step after cooking the mendong plants is discoloring the mendong leafs.
The discoloring process strips the mendong leafs of their natural color. This process
leaves a relatively colorless, or rather white mendong leafs. Discoloring process is performed by “bleaching” the mendong leafs in one of a number of discoloring chemical
agents. The chemicals used are typically Calcium chloride hypochlorite (CaCl(OCl)), Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) or Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) After the discoloring process
is completed, the basketware maker can then apply coloring agent on the mendong
leafs of the desired color. Coloring is usually done by immersing the mendong leafs in
a coloring chemical agent.
Production Centers
Basketware made out of mendong weed fibers typically have fine fibers since mendong fibers are rather narrow and small, and therefore makes for a fine weaving result.
One of the most prominent centers of mendong-based basketware products is in the
Indonesian town of Tasikmalaya. Mendong basketware products are used for dry articles. The types of mendong basketware products are varied and include office stationeries (file boxes, letter trays, stationery holders, etc.), tissue boxes, laundry baskets,
trash cans, “parcel” gift baskets, delivery baskets, and other types of baskets that are
meant to hold dry articles.

Bamboo Basketware
Raw Material
Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family
Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some of its members are giant
bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest
growing woody plant in the world. Their accelerated growth rate (up to 3-4 feet/day or
1.5-2.0 inches/hr) is due to a unique rhizome system and is dependent on local
soil and climate conditions.
Bamboo is a plant that is deeply revered in Asia, although its proliferation is
spread from 50°N latitude in Sakhalin through to northern Australia, and west to
India and the Himalaya. They also occur in sub-Saharan Africa, and in the Americas
from the southeast of the United States south to Argentina and Chile, there reaching
their furthest south anywhere, at 47°S latitude. Major areas with no native bamboos
include Europe, northern Africa, western Asia, Canada, most of Australia, and Antarctica. An important feature of bamboo is that it is essentially a giant grass and as with
your lawn, can be cut without killing the plant unlike other hardwoods such as teak
and mahogany, where the whole tree dies when cut. This makes for a highly survivable
and environmentally sustainable natural resource. What could be more environmen-
18
tally friendly than a plant that can be harvested yet just keeps on
growing?
Bamboo is one of the most remarkable resources on the
planet. Both sustainable and plentiful, bamboo has been utilized
for many uses. Not only as materials for furniture and weaving,
some parts of the bamboo plant are also edible. The shoots (new
bamboo culms that come out of the ground) of bamboo are edible. They are used in numerous Asian dishes and broths, and are
available in supermarkets in various sliced forms, both fresh and
canned version. A health warning is appropriate in the case of the
shoots of the giant bamboo, as they contain cyanide. Despite this,
the Golden Bamboo Lemur (a type of monkey) is able to ingest
quantities of the toxin that would kill a human several times over,
without ill effects.
In Indonesia young bamboo shoots are sliced thinly and then
boiled with santan (thick coconut milk) and spices to make a dish
named gulai rebung. Other recipes using bamboo shoots are sayur lodeh (mixed vegetables in coconut milk) and lun pia (sometimes written lumpia: fried wrapped bamboo shoots with vegetables). Note that the shoots of some species contain toxins that
need to be leached or boiled out before they can be eaten safely.
Bamboo is durable, strong and yet can be made flexible enough by cutting them
into strips (that still retain the strength property) and weaving the strips together.
Strong enough to be used as building materials, the strength property of bamboo
has made it one of the most commonly used materials for a wide variety of
uses, most importantly when the uses require strong, flexible surfaces.
Bamboo for example, has been used for making mats and baskets for
centuries. Bamboo weaving is at least more than 7,000 years old. The
oldest known bamboo artifact was found in China in 2004 in the form
of 7,400 years-old carbonized remains of a bamboo mat.
In Indonesia, woven bamboo strips are used for many purposes. One of
the most common uses of woven bamboo strips in Indonesia is as building or
partition/screen for interior walls. Bamboo strips are also made into furniture, typically with bindings from stronger materials such as wood or rattan. However there
19
are also furnitures made entirely of bamboo as bamboo is strong enough to withstand
weight such as a person’s body weight. Some types of bamboo furniture include all
manners of tables and chairs, mirror frames, shelving units, sofas and loungers, wardrobes, drawers, bar stools and plant stands, and just about any furniture imaginable
can be made out of bamboo thanks to its flexibility.
Processing
Bamboo basketware is typically made by weaving cut bamboo strips into the
desired basket shape. The traditional Indonesian weaving pattern is called “gedek”.
Gedek has also become the generic word for a piece of wall/screen made out of woven bamboo strips. Bamboo is one of the easiest weaving materials to process. The
processing of bamboo logs into weaving materials basically requires only cutting the
bamboo into strips.
One of the types of bamboo that is most commonly used for weaving is the “paring/bambu tali” type, or translated into English “rope bamboo”. Rope bamboo is a type
of bamboo with exceptional fiber flexibility and strength. The fibers are strong enough
Bamboo is the fastest growing
woody plant in the world.
and stay together that they can be made into strong ropes and are usually used for
making ropes. The bamboo log is typically cut into pieces of the desired length and
size. It is then sliced, which can be done with traditional knife or with a bamboo splitting tool if so desired. A bamboo splitting tool is basically a round cylinder tool with a
number of knives going from the outer edge inward (like a three-pointed star symbol).
The bamboo log to be split is typically inserted through the knives and the splitting
tool can then be driven down through the center of cross-section of the bamboo shaft.
The bamboo will then be split along its inner axis as many as the number of knives (the
bamboo splitting tool commonly used has three knives). After the bamboo is split into
pieces that are desired, they can be further split into ropes or ribbons. These can then
be colored if desired.
The typical method for coloring is by immersing the bamboo strips in a boiled solution of coloring agent (textile coloring agent will be sufficient). The colored bamboo
strips are then dried and are ready for weaving. There are numerous weaving patterns
that can be applied for bamboo strips as they are flexible enough. Alternating pattern
is common and some handcrafters combine bamboo strips of different color to create
attractive basketware. These may also be combined with other materials to make the
basketware more attractive.

Bamboo baskets are
creatively designed and
are widely exported
Production Centers
Bamboo basket making is found throughout Indonesia, being such a common material. The types of basketware produced in Indonesia are numerous. From fishing baskets, parcel gift baskets, rice/food carrying baskets (called rantang in Indonesian), dim
sum baskets, cookie jar baskets, shopping baskets, cookie delivery baskets, various
boxes and many other bamboo-based basket products. Many of these are designed
creatively and are widely exported. Some of the centers of production of these basketware products in Indonesia are Tasikmalaya (West Java) and Lamongan (near Surabaya
in East Java).
21
22
Other Natural Fiber Basketware Materials
Indonesian basketware makers also utilize a number of natural fibers for their raw
materials. Among these are gebang (corypha utan), banana bark, and akar wangi.
Gebang
Gebang (corypha utan) is a type of palm that grows in low lands (at elevations less
than 300m above sea level). Gebang tree can grow as high as 15-20 meters. Its leaves
are rather large and fan-shaped, with lengths up to 3.5m. The leaves emerge from the
ends of the tree’s branches, which can be as long as 7m themseleves. The branches are
wide and filled with thorns in its sides.
Parts of the gebang trees can be used for many purposes. Its bark is strong enough
to be used as building construction materials, especially as columns. Its bark ends
(from which the leaves grow) can be eaten, and sago from its pith (inner-most part
of the tree’s bark) can be used as cattle feed. Some parts of the gebang tree are also
Gebang tree can grow as high
as 15 - 20 meters
used as traditional medicine. Its roots can be used to cure mild diarrhea and water
from its frond are used as anti-oxidant. Its leaves of course, serve many purposes. The
most important of which is as weaving material for a number of items. Among these
are mats, caps, baskets, ropes, nets and even some traditional dresses. Gebang fiber is
also known as daun gebang or serat gebang or serat agel in Indonesian. Basketware
made of gebang include bags, cell phone baskets, and other basketware. Gebang basketware handicraft can be found easily in the Yogyakarta area.
Banana Bark
A typical staple plant of the tropics, bananas Banana plants are of the family
Musaceae. They are cultivated primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent for the
production of fibre and as ornamental plants. As the bananas are mainly tall, upright,
and fairly sturdy, they are often mistaken for trees, when the truth is the main or upright stem is called a pseudostem, not a bark. Banana’s pseudostem, literally meaning
“fake stem”, which for some species can obtain a height of up to 2–8 m, grow leaves of
up to 3.5 m in length. Each pseudostem can produce a bunch of yellow, green, or even
red bananas before dying and being replaced by another pseudostem.
23
Banana grows in 107 countries throughout the world. Banana trees and its parts
can be used for a number of uses. Its fruit, of course is edible and is a staple food in
many countries. For basketware purposes, fibers from the banana tree’s bark (or rather,
pseudostem) is used. These fibers are so strong that they are even made into furniture
pieces. Baskets are also a logical use for banana fiber weaving. The fibers from the banana barks are usually stripped from the bark, and then woven by twisting methods
into a basketware of desired size and shape. Banana bark fiber basketware include
storage baskets and tissue boxes.
Banana grows well in tropical
countries such as Indonesia

Akar Wangi (Vetiver Root Grass)
Akar wangi (meaning literally fragrance root, so called for the fragrant smell that it
exudes) is a plant that thrives in tropical climate. In Indonesia this is commonly found
in Java. Akar Wangi is a type of grass of the Andropogon zizanioides family. Akar Wangi
grass has been used traditionally as fragrance material. The plant is exudes aromatic
fragrance due to aetheric oil that it naturally produces. The aetheric oil has very low
evaporation temperature point, and hence almost immediately evaporates as it is secreted. This makes the akar wangi rather dry.
Akar wangi grows naturally although it is typically planted. Today, most akar wangi in basketware and other handicraft articles are made from plantation-grown akar
wangi. Akar wangi grows well at elevations of 350-2000 meters. Its best soil type is
sandy or volcanic ash types. In these types of soil an akar wangi plant may grow to
large and long root bunches. They are typically planted with 0.75m to 1m distance
between the plants. The plant requires about 1.5 to 2.5 months of soil tilling to prepare
the land for akar wangi growth. Akar wangi is ripe for harvest after about 9 months.
Late harvest is usually avoided as akar wangi plants older than 9 months will start to
degrade and may not look very attractive physically, an important consideration for
Vertiver root grass or so called
fragrance root can also be used
for beautiful accesories in dining
tables.
25
handicraft making. One hectare of akar wangi plantation typically yields 20-50 tons
of wet akar wangi (wet vetiver roots). The drying process will shrink this weight to a
mere 12-15 tons. The drying process is done simply by letting the akar wangi out to
sunlight for 7-10 days. No special attention is required for the drying process of akar
wangi intended for handicraft making. Akar wangi intended for perfume oil extraction
however, require special attention to keep its oil contents within acceptable levels.
Akar wangi has a number of uses. Some utilize the root of the akar wangi grass to
extract its oil and made into fragrance materials or used for making perfumes. Other
primary use is for weaving material. Its grass is the part of the akar wangi typically
used. It is used for a number of woven articles. In basketware production, akar wangi
is usually made into bags and other bag-like containers since they are rather thin and
flexible, which make them rather suitable for making things that require flexibility.
Some example of akar wangi basketware includes bags, magazine holders . Akar wangi however, can also be easily made into other basketware articles. A unique property
of the akar wangi basketware is the fragrance that it exudes.
The largest akar wangi production center in Indonesia is located in Garut, which
supplies about 90% of Indonesian akar wangi oil and much of the akar wangi used in
handicraft making. It is only natural that one can also find akar wangi handicraft makers in Garut. Another akar wangi production and marketing center can also be found
in the Yogyakarta area.
Lontar Leaf/ Borassus flabellifer
Lontar (species name Borassus flabellifer, which grows in Southeast Asia, or also
known as palmyra) is a type of plant whose leaves have been used by ancient Indonesian as writing medium before there was paper. They are tall palms, capable of growing
up to 30 m high. The leaves are long, fan-shaped, 2 to 3 m in length. The flowers are
small, in densely clustered spikes, followed by large, brown, roundish fruits.
Lontar basketware is rather rare. It is found only in the South Sulawesi Province, in
the Regency of Takalar at the Galesong Selatan District. Other production center are in
Lontar tree are tall palms, capable of growing up to 30 m
high. The leaves are long, fanshaped, 2 to 3 m in length
Bali, in the Karangasem and Gianyar Regency. Similar to gebang in appearance, lontar
leaves are used as basket-weaving material.
The part of the lontar tree used for weaving is the stem of the lontar branches. The
stems are cut from the lontar trees and then beaten to make them soft and pliable.
26
They are then immersed in water for about a week, after which they are beaten again
to obtain an even softer texture. The stems are then cut to separate them from the
lontar leaves. They can then be washed and prepared for weaving.
Lontar stems are used for a variety of plait materials. They are made into hats, fans,
wall decoration, bracelets, etc. The most typical use of lontar leaves in basketry is in
making bags and other containers. They are also made into baskets and other storage
uses. Some example of lontar-based basketware are: tissue holders, stationery holders,
ash trays, bottle-like vessels, etc. Most lontar handicraft makers make custom-ordered
lontar handicrafts.

Major Indonesian Basketware
Production Centers
Basket-making is a rather common handicraft in Indonesia. The relatively simple
production method and readily available material have made it a rather easy business
for even inexperienced craftsmen to get into. However, over the years, certain areas of
the country have developed into major basketware production centers. These areas
have developed into strongly export-oriented centers. Typically when an area become
well known for its products which are sought after by foreign buyers, more and more
businesses spring up to take advantage, which in turn create even more diversity and
bolster the industry even further.
Two areas in particular have developed into well-known centers of basketware production. These are Tasikmalaya and Yogyakarta.
30
Tasikmalaya
Tasikmalaya is both a city and a regency in the West Java Province. The city of Ta-
Java Island
sikmalaya in particular, is perhaps the best known center of basketware industry in
the country. It is located approximately 106 km from the province’s capital of Bandung
or about 380 km to the southeast of the country’s capital of Jakarta. Tasikmalaya can
only be reached through ground routes. The journey to Tasikmalaya takes about three
West of Java
Province
hours by ground transportation from Bandung or around 7 hours from Jakarta.
The regency of Tasikmalaya is a production center for mendong, pandan and bamboo basketware. One can easily find thousands of small businesses producing these
Tasikmalaya
basketware. Mendong, for example, as of the writing of this book is known to be produced by 1,235 business units in Tasikmalaya. Bamboo is produced by 1,038 units
,while pandan is produced by 644 businesses. Tasikmalaya’s local government is also
very active in promoting Tasikmalaya basketware products and will readily provide information. Following is detailed, while not exhaustive, lists of basketware production
centers in the Regency of Tasikmalaya :

Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta is a Special Administrative Area located in the southern part of the island of Java in Indonesia. It is about 560 kilometers
Java Island
to the southeast of Jakarta, the country’s capital. Yogyakarta can be
reached in 7 hours by train ride or 1 hour flight from Jakarta. Alternatively, it is a 45 minute flight from Denpasar, Bali, the only city nearby
Center of Java
Province
with international flight connections.
Yogyakarta Province
Yogyakarta is also a major city and tourist destination in Indonesia with direct international flights from neighboring countries and
relatively quick international connections through either Jakarta or Bali. Yogyakarta is
also one of the educational centers of the country with a large number of public and
private universities.
Yogyakarta was a former Javanese Sultanate and thus has a rich history and culture. The Sultanate was founded in 1755 and joined the Republic of Indonesia at the
Declaration of Independence in 1945. The Yogyakarta Sultanate is a product of a split
33
of the larger Mataram Sultanate. The Mataram Sultanate was an Islamic kingdom
that ruled over what is now the Central Java, East Java and the island of Madura in Indonesia from the mid 16th to the mid 18th century. The Dutch colonial incursion into
Java in the mid 18th century brought Mataram into conflict with the Dutch trading
company, the VOC. Mataram eventually succumbed to the power of the VOC and was
broken apart into the Sultanate of Yogyakarta and the Sultanate of Surakarta in 1755.
The sultanates stayed under the effective control of the Dutch trading company until
Indonesian nationalists declared independence.
Considering the rich and tumultuous history, the culture of Yogyakarta is one of
the most fascinating combinations of Javanese, Hindu, Buddha, Islamic heritage and
even Chinese and European influences. Being the capital of a Javanese sultanate, Yogyakarta boasts unrivalled Javanese cultural heritage. Yogyakarta has always been
a center of handicraft, homewares and wooden products. Yogyakarta is also a production center of handicraft. Yogyakarta products can be found in many handicraft
outlets. Some find their way to Bali and sold as souvenirs. Following is export data of

Yogyakarta is a provincial-level Special Administrative Region. It is divided into 4
regencies (kabupaten) and 1 city (kota) administrative area, as can be seen in the map.
Basketware making industry can be found in all of the regencies mentioned. Yogyakarta has been a primary center for Indonesian handicraft for a long time. One can find
in Yogyakarta a wide range of handicraft from all materials and designs. The areas of
Yogyakarta that produces handicraft are spread over its four regencies, the regencies
of Bantul, Sleman, Gunungkidul and Kulonprogo.

The regency of Bantul has been a center for handicraft production and marketing. As of the writing of this book more than 8,000
handicraft business units reside in the Bantul Regency area. Bantul
also boasts perhaps the most comprehensive arts and craft market
in the area, the Gabusan Arts and Crafts Market. This market displays the most comprehensive collection of arts and handicrafts
one can find in one location, including of course, plait material. The
Gabusan Market provides space for more than 400 handicraft business units in its kiosks.
Sleman is also the home of thousands of handicraft and basketware businesses. The most notable plait material production
center in the Sleman regency is located in the villages of Moyudan and Minggir. Minggir is a production center of bamboobased plait material and basketry. In Sleman one can also find
rather sizeable mendong plantation. The handicraft and basketry
production center in Gunungkidul is located in the village of
Ngawen. Kulonprogo is also home to many natural fiber weaving-based handicraft businesses.
35
Other Notable Centers
Garut
Garut is a regency directly neighboring to the west of Tasikmalaya. Garut is home
to more than 3,000 bamboo handicraft businesses. It is also blessed with a plentiful
supply of bamboo. In Garut there is more than 300 hectares of bamboo plantation
producing more than 700,000 tons annually. Bamboo basketry is highly developed
in Garut. Among the notable products of bamboo basketry in Garut is the bird-cage.
Garut also supplies large numbers of akar wangi basketware.

Map of Basketware Production Centers
Basket-making, as previously mentioned, is a rather common handicraft in Indonesia. The relatively simple production method and readily available material have made
it a rather easy business for even inexperienced crafters to get into. Other production
centers in Indonesia have sprung up over the years in most of the 5 major islands in
Indonesia.

Basketware Industry
Competitive Advantage of
Indonesian Basketware
In a world that demands highly creative, unique, and increasingly green products,
Indonesian basketware products can be counted on to present a formidable array of
choices to the world market. With a wide variety of natural fibers locally available, a rich
tradition of handicraft-making and internationally established reputation, Indonesian
handicraft businesses are well positioned in the world stage.
One aspect of the Indonesian handicraft and basketware industry is their creativity.
Anyone can easily find basketware articles of every imaginable types, sizes, designs,
uses and materials. These designs are updated regularly to keep up with demands.
Creativity has become the defining competitive edge for Indonesian products in order
to survive in the world market.
In order to survive in the world market and to continue to attract buyers, basketware makers, not just in Indonesia but everywhere, must rely on creativity. Creativity
covers not just the designs but also marketing of products. If there is a weakness in Indonesian basketware industry, it is in the area of marketing. Since most of Indonesian
basketware makers are small to medium-sized businesses, they typically have rather
limited access to marketing channels. Most producers simply supply their products to
larger basketware or handicraft makers or put their products on display locally. This
leads to little potential buyers, of course. However, some small scale baketware producers and some resellers have begun putting their products on the Internet to reach
a larger audience.
At the moment, very few of these basketware makers put their products up on the
Internet because very few of them have the knowledge and understanding of this new
marketing medium. This in turn is taken as an opportunity by others. Some of the “producers” putting up Indonesian basketware products on the Internet are really resellers.
Resellers travel to Indonesian basketware centers and pick out products they think
might appeal to foreign buyers, purchase them, and then put them up for sale on the
web,. This is a wasted opportunity for the real basketware makers.
44
Government Support
The Indonesian Government is highly supportive of Indonesian basketware industry. The central government, for example, organizes trade exhibitions showcasing
Indonesian basketware and other products. Some of these government-sponsored
annual trade shows are INACRAFT (Indonesian Craft Exhibition), TEI (Trade Expo Indonesia) and ICRA (The Indonesian Interior & Craft Exhibition). National Agency for Export Development (NAFED), a unit of Ministry of Trade, is the organizer of Trade Expo
Indonesia in Jakarta, the largest export-oriented exhibition in Indonesia. In addition,
NAFED and other government agencies regularly lead trade missions overseas, bringing many entrepreneurs and industrialists to attend world-class exhibitions, and also
directs visiting dignitaries and foreign businessmen to qualified Indonesian companies. Online exhibition of Indonesian producers is available at NAFED’s virtual exhibition website at http://www.nafedve.com.
Assistance goes beyond marketing and promotion. Local government also fosters
the development of small-medium sized handicraft enterprises by providing guidance and technical and basic business management trainings. Inside the Ministry of
Trade, a unit of NAFED called Indonesian Export Training Center (IETC) provides trainings for would-be exporters.
Government designed Plans for the Development of the Basketware Creative Industry which set priorities of government policies and commit resources to support
the business communities. Among the priorities are development of cultural-heritage-based handicraft products—including basketware—and the emphasis on the
use of eco-friendly materials and the application of eco-labeling, as well as ensuring
that the supply of those materials (wood, rattan, metal, pandan, etc.) is reliable. Central and local governments cooperate with universities, practitioners, and community
organizations to implement a one-village-one-product (OVOP) in order to empower
small-and-medium businesses and create focus and specializations. Those government agencies also try to improve production by human resources development and
equipment modernization. On the demand side, government assistance is arranged
through the use of Internet as an affordable, and yet effective marketing medium,
to reach untapped market overseas. Another important strategy is the partnerships
between producers of basketware and other sectors, most notably tourism industry.
